Construction is expected to start on this section of the highway in late 2012. The second phase of the highway will be built in two stages. The first stage will extend the mainline from Harmony Road eastward to connect to the east Durham link, at which point it will turn south and end at Taunton Road. The second stage will be the connection of the east Durham link from 1 Taunton Road to the 401, and the continuation of the mainline to the Highway 115 connection. The entire project is expected to be completed by 2020. The Ministry is developing a Cultural Heritage Resource Strategy to fulfill the 407 East Environmental Assessment commitments for environmental impact mitigation.
